Product details
Overview
MC9S08DZ60ACLH from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller featuring a 40-MHz CPU core (20-MHz bus), 60 KB on-chip Flash, 4 KB RAM, and integrated CAN 2.0A/B controller - deployed in automotive body control modules requiring real-time I/O, sensor interfacing, and robust communication.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DZ60ACLH datasheet, MC9S08DZ60ACLH pinout, MC9S08DZ60ACLH application, or MC9S08DZ60ACLH equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN protocol support, 24-channel 12-bit ADC with temperature sensor, dual SCI/LIN-capable UARTs, and low-power stop modes with RTC wake-up capability.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and single-wire background debug. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL/PLL operation with factory-trimmed internal reference and ±1.5% accuracy over temperature.
Peripherals include MSCAN with five receive buffers and programmable identifier filters (2×32-bit, 4×16-bit, or 8×8-bit), two SCIs compliant with LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602, and a 6-channel + 2-channel TPM for PWM, input capture, and output compare - all operating across run, wait, and stop3 modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DZ60ACLH CPU core?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH features an HCS08 CPU core with a maximum core frequency of 40 MHz, delivering a 20-MHz bus clock speed. This performance level supports real-time execution of automotive control algorithms while maintaining deterministic interrupt latency under worst-case timing conditions. The MC9S08DZ60ACLH achieves this via its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL mode, synchronized to an external crystal or resonator.
Does the MC9S08DZ60ACLH support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH supports only classical CAN per ISO 11898-1 (CAN 2.0A/B), not CAN FD. Its MSCAN module implements standard and extended data frames up to 8 bytes payload, with five receive buffers and programmable identifier filtering. CAN FD capabilities require newer S32K or MPC57xx families; the MC9S08DZ60ACLH remains optimized for legacy vehicle networks where 500 kbps classical CAN suffices.
How much EEPROM-equivalent storage does the MC9S08DZ60ACLH provide?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH includes 2 KB of on-chip EEPROM-emulation memory implemented in Flash, supporting 8-byte single-page or 4-byte dual-page erase sectors. This allows reliable nonvolatile storage of calibration data, fault logs, or user settings with wear-leveling managed in firmware. Unlike external EEPROM, this memory shares the MCU's supply and requires no additional SPI/I²C interface - a key advantage in space-constrained automotive modules.
What debug interface does the MC9S08DZ60ACLH use, and is JTAG supported?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH uses a single-wire Background Debug Mode (BDM) interface via the BKGD/MS pin - not JTAG. This interface supports full in-circuit emulation (ICE), real-time bus capture, flash programming, and breakpoint debugging using standard Freescale/NXP BDM tools. JTAG is not implemented; the BDM architecture reduces pin count and simplifies PCB layout while retaining essential development functionality.
What are the low-power stop modes available on the MC9S08DZ60ACLH?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLH supports two very low-power stop modes: Stop2 and Stop3. Stop3 disables all clocks except the 1-kHz low-power oscillator driving the RTC, achieving typical current draw below 10 µA. Stop2 retains the 32.768 kHz RTC crystal oscillator for higher-accuracy timekeeping. Both modes allow wake-up via CAN, SCI, RTC, or GPIO interrupts - critical for always-on automotive subsystems like door modules or junction boxes.
